It stuck me with amazement when I first read in the gospel of John that Jesus said "Whoever believes in me will do what I have been doing". It made me realise He did the wondrous things He did not by being something we are not but by the same kind of faith in God that we too can have. He was just as human and weak as we are. His relationship with God is based on mutual love and is exactly the same relationship of mutual love and faith with God that we too can have and really should have. We can have this same love relationship with God as Jesus has, loving God in the same kind of love Jesus has for God and being loved by God with the very same kind of love God has for Jesus His Son. Even when this is starting to develop in us we can do what Jesus did by that same faith in God's love as Jesus had then it can grow greater still because Jesus is there with God interceding for us and ruling all things for us and for God. So we can have all this precisely because Jesus is now a human just like us having been born like us (though of a virgin mother) and pleased God to the point of ugly death because it was God's will not His will and we can grow to love God like that too. Then God's glory and Christ's whole way of love and faith will be seen in us when others believe. Having this love and seeing all this growing in others we are going to love those others when we see this Spirit work of God developing in them. So then we all extend Christ as being what He too is. He has grown greatly in glory and is resurrected and when He returns those like Him now in love and faith towards Him and towards God are going to made exactly what He is now in resurrection glory.
